I caved and smoked a cigarette at 20 weeks.. Is my baby going to be okay?

I'm going through a really stressful time and my partner and his mom still smokes. I quit around 5 weeks pregnant, but with everything going on I caved and took one of her smokes and had half of it before I couldn't do it and chucked it. I feel so bad and am worried. I already told my partner but he isn't off work yet. Do you think my baby will be okay? Should I look out for anything? Any advice on how to prevent it from happening again? Should I call or tell my dr?

One cigarette wouldn’t hurt your baby. But i suggest speaking with your Dr about it. They have some hotlines and other information to help with quitting smoking
